Accent Your Look with Pocket Squares

This classic accessory item has made its way back to the fashion scene. I have always liked the pre-folded white cotton or Irish linen pocket square. In the pocket of a dark suit, it really sets the tone of how you want to be perceived.

Pocket squares convey confidence and attention to details. They really accentuate your personal style. Plus they are a subtle way of showing that you are paying attention to your professional image.

Silk pocket squares are best paired with sport coats. They are a definite when wearing the sport coat without a tie. Don’t match the pocket square pattern with the tie. This creates an overly matched ensemble. Small tight patterns, paisley and plaids are the current pocket square trend. When choosing one, look to pick up the subtle colors in your shirt or coat. You can also try one for accent and brighten up your look with more color.
